I've been following this thread and I think I want to step in here. I
mounted my filters under an armrest door/ cover in the tunnel just
between the seats. I can open the hatch and look at the filters in
flight and on pre flight instantly. My thoughts are if your engine goes
silent, change to the other side of the tank as that filter should be
clear. Land and replace both. I mean isn't that why we have two anyway?
